Chapter 22 Cangzhou City

Outside the east city of Cangzhou, five horses walked slowly towards Chaijiazhuang. These people are not outsiders, they are Wang Lun and Lu Zhishen.

I saw Wang Lun riding on a tall horse, dressed in clean and neat clothes, not only dressed energetically, but also outstanding.

Cangzhou, bordering the Bohai Sea in the east and Yandi in the north, is the largest county on the Song-Liao border on the East Hebei Road.

For the impression of Cangzhou, the most memorable thing for the officials is the distribution place of the "leopard head" Lin Chong. Because Cangzhou is connected to Northern Liao, it is also a remote military state in today's Great Song Dynasty.

Due to the Later Jin Emperor Shi Jingjiao's ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Liao State, the Central Plains suddenly lost the northern barrier. It also made it difficult for the Northern Song Dynasty to rely on the defense line of the Great Wall when fighting against the northern nomads, and there was no geographical advantage at all.

In order to make up for this congenital deficiency, in the Northern Song Dynasty, in areas near the border of Liao, the government broadcast vegetation, set up military villages, and blocked the avenues. The path to and from each other, at most two horses in parallel, to a certain extent, curbed the advantage of the northern nomads to ride and shoot.

In addition, the peasants in Hebei cultivated the ridges and acres in an east-west direction to block the northern cavalry. In the White River and further north, thorn trees are planted as obstacles.

Cangzhou is also a frontline, and the path along the road is also tortuous and repetitive, with dense vegetation on both sides of the road, including many century-old giant trees, which are very different from those of later generations.

The small whirlwind Chai Jin is a first-class strong in Cangzhou, and even in the country, with thousands of fertile fields, restaurants, pawnshops, minerals and textiles. There are seven or eight hundred people in the nursing home alone, and Chai Jin takes care of the prisoners who are sent to Cangzhou, so he has a reputation in the rivers and lakes.

If you inquire about other things in Cangzhou City, you may not be able to inquire about them. But if you ask about the mansion of the Cangzhou Chai Jin Chai official, it is known to everyone! As soon as Wang Lun inquired, he successfully found Chai Jin's location.

Thinking about the Hujiazhuang on Dulonggang, there are cultivated land canals outside the village, and the inside of the village are all relatives and tenant farmers. And this Chaijiazhuang is a different scene, a radius of more than ten miles is a deep jungle, during which the ancient trees are covered, covering the sky and the sun, a path about three or four meters wide passes through the forest, leading directly to the main gate of the village.

This village is not a small city defense such as Dulonggang Sanzhuang, but a water of five blue brick high walls, the front of the end of the road is a middle gate, the left and right are divided into two corner gates, the middle gate is decorated with copper nails, open very, enough to parallel five or six people, the left and right two corner gates can also be opened to traffic.

Gaomen compound, blue bricks and red tiles, tall gatehouse, there are two stone lions at the door, there is a big plaque on the vermilion gate, and there are three big characters of "Chaijiazhuang" in the book! Two teams of bankers stood motionless at the door.

With such momentum, you can see at a glance that it is not an ordinary family. To say that Lu Junyi, who Wang Lun has seen, is also a huge rich, but when it comes to the weather of this front door, it is the difference between heaven and earth, clouds and mud.

Wang Lun praised it in his heart, and secretly said that this Chai Jin really deserves to be a relative of the emperor, and such a high-standard mansion has only been seen in Bianliang, Tokyo, even if it is not much worse than Cai Jing Cai Mansion.

Lu Zhishen looked at the courtyard in a daze, and exclaimed, "This ...... This is what the brother said about Chai Jinchai Daguan's house? Good...... It's so angry! ”

Shan Shiqi had never seen such a mansion before, and said dumbfoundedly: "I'm afraid which dragon son and grandson live in such a village!" "I don't want Shan Shiqi to say a word nonsense, and it won't be far from what he says.

Wang Lun smiled, nodded at Yang Lin, and signaled to come forward to visit.

Yang Lin turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the gate. Coming to the front, Yang Lin hugged his fist towards the two Zhuang guests, "The two brothers are polite, may I ask if this is Chai Jin Chai Daguan's mansion?" ”

The two Zhang Ke had actually seen Zheng Fei and a few people a long time ago, and when they first saw Wang Lun and Lin Chong, they were all riding horses and saying that they were characters. When I saw Lu Zhishen and Shan Shiqi shouting in front of the door, I was so angry with my little family, and I felt a little contemptuous.

One of the nurses looked Wang Lun up and down and said with a smile: "Can't you see such a big plaque, who else will there be besides Chai Daguan's family!" The other person had a slightly better attitude and replied, "It is my family's big official mansion, what is the matter with you?" ”

People say that "the prime minister's door is a seven-grade official", Wang Lun didn't expect that this firewood into a guard yard in the mansion would also have such arrogance. It is no wonder that Wu Song stayed here, and he suffered a lot of pickled gas, so he didn't know that he was available now.

Wang Lun saw the slight knowledge and also had a little understanding of Chai Jin. Thinking about it, this Chai Jin is probably not a well-informed person, as a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty, he doesn't know how to use Taoguang. In that "Water Margin", when you meet people, you will say that you are a descendant of the Later Zhou Shizong, if these words are known by the officials of the dynasty, how can you benefit!

I think that Yin Tianci, who framed Chai Jin in the book, is Gao Lian's wife and brother, and Gao Lian is the brother of Gao Yu, the imperial lieutenant of the dynasty. You must know that Gao Yu is a fortunate minister of today's official family, and he was by Zhao Ji's side when he was in the palace. In the final Hui Dynasty, this person has been in charge of the three ya, which shows the grace of the long.

I can't say that the matter of Chai entering prison in the book may be at the behest of the official family, even if it is not the initiative to trouble him, it is also the hands and feet of fortunate ministers like Gao Yu to invite favors.

In the final analysis, the wife and brother of a mere governor, even if they are gentle, how can they have such courage to dare to climb and bully the royal family of the Chai family at will. You must know that according to the historical records of later generations, the first of the three testaments of Taizu in the Taimiao of the Northern Song Dynasty is to protect the descendants of the Chai family. Thinking about it, even if Zhao Ji is not angry with Chai Jin's words and deeds, at most it is a lesson or two, and it is absolutely impossible to really take his life. After all, in the Northern Song Dynasty, where benevolence and filial piety ruled the world, how could Huizong really disobey the ancestral teachings.

Who would have thought that this incident would annoy Liangshan's group of strongmen, and finally break Gaotang Prefecture, making this descendant of the Chai family fall into the grass. The cause and effect, even if you have experienced it yourself, I am afraid it is difficult to understand the context of the whole thing.

Now that Wang Lun wants to get acquainted with Chai Jin, I'm afraid it's another story not to mention for the time being!

Chai Jin is Du Qian's benefactor, and he is very helpful to the development of Liangshan, and Wang Lun is not easy to deal with a nursing home.

Yang Lin saw Wang Lun's color acting, and said nonchalantly, "I have been waiting for a long time to admire Chai and enter the reputation of Chai Daguan, and I came to visit today, and please go in and report it." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished saying this, the previous nursing home actually smiled contemptuously, "What kind of characters are you?" Everyone in the world knows that the big officials of my family are righteous and squandering money, but many shameless villains come here to fight the autumn wind! ”

Wang Lun suddenly became angry in his heart, and secretly said how could this person speak so ugly! If it weren't for Chai Jin's face, it would be difficult to do it for the first time, and I was afraid that I wouldn't teach him a lesson.

Lin Chong listened to the words of the nursing home, and his face was also not good. If I stab Cangzhou and ask for Chai to enter the mansion, I am afraid that I will be ridiculed!

Lu Zhishen was already furious, took a step forward, grabbed the man's collar and shouted, "The dog looks at the things that are low, which one do you say is the autumn wind?" ”

When the nurse who was caught saw Lu Zhishen moved, his face changed, "What a gut!" Dare to commit murder in front of the big officials! ”

At this moment, I suddenly heard someone inside the door shouting dissatisfiedly, "Who is making noise outside?" ”

Then I saw a man about thirty years old come out, wearing a square turban on his head, wearing a dark silk silk clothes, with a calm but angry face. 1.
